Chief Supervisor of Border Patrol Immigration Service Department of Justice Washington, B. 0.
Vty dear Mr. Kelly:
I am transmitting herewith a copy of a letter to Warden George W. Humphrey of the Federal Correctional Institution, Sandstone, Minnesota, requesting that he visit your detention camps at Fort Missoula, Montana, and Fort Lincoln, North Dakota, and lend any assistance he can in connection with the organization of these camps. I ara also enclosing two copies of certain bulletins and circulars issued by the Bureau of Prisons from which you may gather some ideas. You may find some of our institutional bulletins instructive and I am enclosing a few selected from bulletins issued in connection with the organization of the Federal Correctional Institution at Ashland, Kentucky. These bulletins give certain information relative to procedures and operation of activities which may prove helpful.
I am very glad to lend any assistance possible in connection with the establishment of alien detention camps. Please do not hesitate to call upon me when you feel that I could be of service.
